Posted on: October 16, 2017

Our football match prediction:

Bristol City

Match Time & Date:

21/10/2017

15:00 GMT

Prediction: 1-1

Leeds United

Bristol City failed to turn their dominance into goals in a 0-0 draw with Burton Albion on Friday evening and it has to be noted that they missed a penalty in the second half of the match. The Robins aim to return to winning ways in the Championship, but they face a difficult task in Saturday’s football game against Leeds United. The Whites are on a three-game losing run in the league ahead of the trip to Bristol and, no doubt, the lack of confidence could prove to be a big problem for the visitors in the Ashton Gate Stadium showdown. Both sides sit in the play-offs berth in the Championship standings and they seem to be evenly matched ahead of Matchday 13. A close encounter appears on the cards and we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in what is expected to be one of the most entertaining games of Saturday’s program.

Highlighted Player (Korey Smith):

After spending his youth career at Norwich City, Korey Smith made his first-team debut for the Canaries in January 2008 in the FA Cup clash against Charlton Athletic. Smith played 67 league games for Norwich City and he scored 4 goals for the club, but in 2013 he signed a two-year deal with Oldham Athletic. The midfielder who was born on 31 January, 1991, scored one goal in 42 appearances for the club in the 2013/2014 campaign and on 27 June, 2014, he joined Bristol City for an undisclosed fee. It has to be noted that he won Johnstone’s Paint Trophy with the Robins in his first season with the team. Korey Smith was born in Hatfield, England and he has two younger sisters, Alice and Harriet. Smith is a defensive midfielder, but he is capable of operating as central midfielder and right back as well. The Bristol City footballer also represented the likes of Barnsley and Yeovil Town (on loan) in the past.

Highlighted Team (Leeds United):

Leeds United are one of the clubs that won the FA Cup. The Whites outplayed Arsenal in the final of the prestigious competition back in 1972, but they clinched the League Cup trophy as well. Leeds United faced the Gunners in the 1967/1968 League Cup final and it has to be noted that Terry Cooper scored the winner for the Whites. Leeds play their home games at Elland Road and the capacity of the stadium is 37,914. The club was founded in 1919 and they have won three First Division (Premier League) trophies ever since (1968/1969, 1973/1974, 1991/1992). Leeds United made it to the Champions League final in 1975, but they were beaten by Bayern Munich in the title clash. The Whites were impressive under David O’Leary. The likes of Jonathan Woodgate, Lee Bowyer, Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka and Ian Harte were part of the Elland Road outfit back then and they did well to reach the semis of the Champions League in 2001.
